The use of fog generation systems in ho-lod showcases and counters with fresh products
High-pressure misting systems are actively used to maintain an optimal level of humidity and reduce the temperature during storage of products, preventing dehydration and preserving the presentation.
Vegetables, fruits, greens and fish are mostly made from water. Due to the difference in the moisture content of the products and the surrounding air, the process of dehydration occurs, as a result of which fresh products lose weight and presentation, which leads to direct and indirect surpluses.
In addition to humidification, fog systems help to control and contain odors, preventing their spread to neighboring departments of the store.
Negative factors of withering and loss of freshness of products:
- Loss of presentation - it is more difficult to sell the product
- An increase in the proportion of marriage and spoilage of vegetables and fruits
- Reduction of useful properties and trace elements in products
- Loss of profit from the sale of fresh products
Tasks solved by misting systems for cooling and humidifying showcases and counters with fresh products:
1. They lower the air temperature and cool the products laid out on the shelves
2. Reduce the weight loss of products by up to 50% and prolong freshness for 72 hours
3. Create an optimal humidity level that stops the dehydration process
4. Reduce the spread of odors in fish and meat departments
5. Facilitate the ripening process of some types of fruits and vegetables
6. Repel insects, which creates a healthier microclimate of food storage conditions
7. Improve the presentation of fresh products
8. They represent an automated process of humidification and maintenance of freshness with a low cost of operation
9. Save and multiply your profit due to the above points
We offer a modern solution to the issue of creating and maintaining the required humidity level. The misting system is a high-quality automated air humidification system. The "Effecttuman" is created using a pump (high pressure) and a system of injectors.
What is the misting system for showcases and counters?
The mist system consists of nozzles connected in series by a polyamide tube. One end of the tube is connected to a pump that supplies water to the system at a high pressure of 70-100bar. Water, passing through the nozzles of the nozzles, breaks up into microscopic droplets with a size of 5-10 microns. This is how the general scheme looks like fog generation systems:
The mist system periodically sprays the smallest drops of water onto the products, usually for 1-5 seconds every 15 minutes. Due to their miniature size, these water droplets evaporate without wetting vegetables and fruits, maintaining the necessary level of humidity and air temperature, reducing dehydration and preserving the weight and condition of the product.
The complete set of the high-pressure misting system includes:
- High pressure pump;
- High pressure hose system;
- Fine-dispersed nozzles;
- Fittings;
- Water filters on the supply water supply;
- The control unit of the fog generation system;
- High pressure ball valves;
- Drain valve;
- Fastening clamps, etc. accessories according to the project.
Specialists have conducted numerous studies, testing misting systems in various segments of retail trade in Ukraine. The system extends the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, fish and meat and preserves the fresh appearance of products. Properly moistened products seem freshly harvested, crisp, windless and have an unattractive presentation, which allows you to increase sales and reduce the loss from wilting and marriage up to 50%.
The misting system solves the issue of creating and maintaining the required humidity level. As a result, the "shrinkage" of vegetables, fruits and other products decreases to 1-2% in conditions of preservation of goods for a long time.
